The Department of Commerce (DOC) has determined that petroleum wax candles in the following shapes: tapers, spirals, and straight-sided dinner candles; rounds, columns, pillars, votives; and various wax-filled containers are within the scope of the antidumping duty order on petroleum wax candles from China. The DOC has also determine that candles measuring less than 6" in height and 3/4" in diameter, are household candles and are not within the scope of the antidumping duty order on petroulem wax candles from China.
